'Day Without Immigrants' under way

Jeff Salsbery told The Associated Press that he was losing thousands of dollars because 25 Latino workers hadn't shown up at his Carmel, Indiana, landscaping company.

"I'm not very happy this morning," Salsbery told the AP. "We're basically shut down in our busiest month of the year."

Well, Jeff, ol' buddy.... you'd be a whole lot unhappier if they put me in charge of enforcement.

Here you are basically admitting that you knowingly employ illegals and crying that you're losing money.

I throw your sad arse in jail and simultaneously fine you as much as the law allowed.

YOU asnd those like YOU, Jeff, are one of the, if not THE, major reason we have a problem with illegals in this country.

[Mighty1]

Can't say that I've noticed them being gone.

[Meatwad]

I have no sympathy for illegals or anyone that takes part in this sissy protest.  If they dont like things here, they need to pack their bags and leave the USA



Time to build a berlin wall between mexico and the US and shoot anyone that tries to cross illegally

[Toad]

Build the wall, sure.... save the shooting for people like ol' Jeff. They are the reason illegals come here.

[Kaw1000]

Never forget this!!!!!

[lazs2]

Now you are getting it Toad old bean...

make it a one year mandatory jail sentance for anyone employing illegals and the problem goes away like magic... along with some of the sleazest scum bag employers since the slave trader days..

Those employers are not even one tiny step above the slavers.  They are making a profit off of Americans and illegals.

I would not be opposed to putting a bounty on em.

BTW.. I approve.

Laz, I think it's already against the law.

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.

And this is from law.com

Six of seven current and former IFCO managers charged with felony conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens were released on bond and are to appear May 4 in Albany, N.Y., where the criminal complaint was filed and the investigation began at a suburban IFCO facility.

The managers could face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each alien involved, as well as forfeitures.

Start locking up the guys doing the hiring for 10 years and see how fast jobs for illegals dry up. No jobs, no point in coming here illegally.


It's the same old story; our problems are not new. Most of them have been around a long time; laws are on the books to deal with them.

However, the laws are not being enforced. What a suprise. The problem is us.

I haven't seen a lawn service all day, anywhere, not even at one of the dozens of gas stations I've driven by. My office is in a neighborhood, and I pass through or past several on my way home. Not a single trailer of lawn equipment anywhere.

I'm wondering where in Salsbery's quote did he admit to hiring illegal immigrants.

[Holden McGroin]

I heard on the radio that today is "Pinko de Mayo"

The whole purpose of the walkout and marches is to protest the "tough immigration laws" and make it easier to get citizenship.

So you think all those protesting already have their papers?

Landscape businesses are primary employment sources for illegals. It's possible Jeff ONLY hires legal citizens but it is extremely unlikely that that is the case.

I hope they investigate every single one of Jeff's employees and fine him according to statute if there are any that are illegal.

But then I feel that way about everyone using illegal immigrants as labor.

I suppose on may 5th that stupid mexican day I should have banners that say

"Support America, deport illegals"

Many (if not most) probably do.

[Toad]

I think your estimate is way, way off.

On February 7, 1997 the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) released its latest estimate for the size and growth of the illegal alien population in the United States, updating its 1994 report.

One of the findings was that the illegal population is 54 percent Mexican.

Who's primarily marching and boycotting today?
